Moved from Opening systematic classification
Dieter probably saying what has been said I have a good reason for desiring a classification. SL page names are becoming long if certain odd variations get their own page and if we want the page to describe what happens. I suggest the following:
All joseki start with the same color, say Black. Moves are notated algebraically, using the lower left corner. Following usual algebraic notation, x comes first then y. In order to get a horizontal representation, x is bigger than y the first time the diagonal is left after the first move.
As an example !B44W63B36W42B73 would describe the following diagram:
Black 1 being the last move in the page title.
Charles This kind of key sequence could be useful if included in the text of a page analysing subsequent variations. A few questions:
Jan: I like Dieter's system, at least if it's used for page aliases. Transpositions could be aliased to the same page, or we could say that the keys describe move sequences instead of stone positions. I think the 'B's and 'W's are superfluous though, and tenuki needs a way of denoting too.
Dieter: Funny you say that in one "breath". The B's and the W's can precisely serve as the Tenuki notation.
